PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Black…white…straight…L G B T Q

Christian…Muslim…Catholic…Atheist and Jew

Labels can be beneficial when we use them to help guild us

but as we have seen since we started labeling ourselves…

they can also be a danger when we use them to divide us.

However there is one thing we all share no label can ever take away

We were all created…all of us…to breathe in the same way.

Basically, from our first breath…the moment of our birth

we become part of the rhythm…the pulse…the heartbeat of the Earth.

Yes, we all breathe together as one…with no need to classify

until the day our breathing stops…until the day we die.

It matters not if we’re labeled Christian, Muslim, Catholic

black, white, straight or gay…

we all breathe, in spite of our labels, approximately 20,000 times a day.

The reason we continue breathing in and out…the lesson I believe

is to teach us life only works its wonders when we give as much as we receive.

Perhaps instead of looking to divide ourselves…

we’d do better to throw all our labels away…

and remember how the simple act of breathing

unites us everyday.

There is a harmony in how we breathe together

Black, white, straight, Gay…Catholic, Muslim…Jew….

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we transferred that same harmony

in the way we live together too?
